## Narrative

Employee was tying rebar in a bent over position.  Another contractor working in a chute above our work area had removed a temporary cover covering the chute opening.  He then dropped his 3lb hammer and it struck our employee on the elbow.  After x-rays he returned to work.  He worked until 12/1/11 and then decided he couldn't work at his normal rate.
